Background: Shoulder pain and frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) are common musculoskeletal complications among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, its occurrence in diabetic individuals in health care settings is underreported.
Objective: To estimate the occurrence of frozen shoulder among diabetic patients in a tertiary hospital.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 participants recruited from multispecialty hospital. SPADI questionnaire was used to assess the severity of pain and disability index.
Result: Results indicated that 92 (61.3%) participants experienced shoulder pain, with 48 (52.2%) displaying symptoms suggestive of frozen shoulder. Despite this high prevalence, only 27 (18%) participants were aware of frozen shoulder as a potential diabetic complication. Among those with shoulder pain, only 35% sought medical consultation, while others relied on self-medication or alternative remedies.
Conclusion: The findings highlight the significant burden of shoulder pain in diabetic individuals and the low awareness of frozen shoulder, which may contribute to delayed diagnosis and inadequate management. Given the impact of frozen shoulder on daily activities and quality of life, targeted education and proactive musculoskeletal assessments in diabetes care are essential.
